Amir Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi , I am 27 years old and I have a experience of around 4 years in the field of Audit/Information Security. I am CISA/CISSP certified professional, I just went through skilled worker list of Australian Immigration and noticed Information security profession is not specified in that list. Please guide me, if anyone knows something about it as i really want to pursue Australian immigration. Is there any other field, i can justify with my current Job Description (Information Security) or am i missing anything ?? Thanks Note: I just started to search about Australian Immigration so don't know much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 It would be a good idea to consult a good Registered Migration Agent to work out which (if any) eligible occupation is appropriate for your qualifications and work experience. Best to do that now so that you have a realistic idea of your chances of qualifying for a visa before you get any further into the process I think your occupation would come under 262112 ICT Security Specialist but that occupation is not on the SOL. It is however on the CSOL so is eligible for state or employer sponsored visas. Employer sponsorship is hard to find and is usually only for a temporary 457 visa (at least to begin with) but fortunately SA, VIC and WA are currently willing to offer state sponsorship for permanent 190 visas for the occupation so that would probably be your best approach. For WA, it's on their Schedule 2 so you would need a job offer but VIC and SA don't have that requirement. For state sponsored visas, you must have a positive skills assessment (the ACS is the assessment authority for 262112) and 60 points on the points test (including the 5 points you get for the sponsorship) before you can submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) in applying for a visa. You can only apply for a visa after you receive an invitation to do so. http://www.acs.org.au/migration-skills-assessment ACS skills assessment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Thank you Ozmaniac for reply. I will definitely consult some agents regarding this issue.

Ozmaniac Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 That will depend mainly on your work experience. Have you read the ACS assessment guidelines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hello Ozmaniac, I read "ANZSCO Code Information document" and according to this document my Job Description fall under two categories.

So, what do you recommend me in this case ? Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sorry, I can't advise you on which occupation to nominate. You could try asking the ACS or if they won't help, you'll need to consult a good RMA. I understand that Peter Chiam of PtlabsConsulting has particular expertise in IT visa related questions such as this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidv Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hi Amir, Were you able to figure out which ANZSCO code to be used for IT security experience? I am in the same boat now.I have done a BCA(computer application) but all my experience is in IT security (9+ yrs).So my closely related Code is 262112 , but its on the CSOl list and now only under VIC SS.so with 190 you will be tied down to VIC.i wanted to know what are my chances if I go with ICT system analyst on the SOL list.problem is I fear if ACS will deduct too much of experience with this code ?At the same time I hear system analyst has ceiling nowadays with 65-70 seems to be only given out invites.So may be 190 is good route to get VISA.Appreciate your response on this.
